Chapter 644 - Bloodline Trinity Formation
A few seconds later, the three of them started talking.
"Uncle Niu, no matter what we do, there is no chance we can let the heirlooms of our ancestors be given to outsiders!" Mu Tao stated firmly.
"Nephew, but we don’t have any chance. Our coffers are dried up and even the servants have started leaving. Only the ones who have been serving the clan for a long time and are loyal are here. Our businesses are gone and only a few small ones are left, but even they are likely to be gone soon.
We need a solution or our clan will be forever gone." Mu Niu replied.
"Cousin... I... I’m willing... I’m willing to marry the heir of the Fei Clan... if we do that we will be able to resolve some of our debt, right?" the teenage girl said in between her sobs.
Hearing the words of the girl, Mu Tao got enraged and slammed his fist on the table.
~THUD~
"NO! I’ll never let that piece of shit, Fei Teng marry you. I’d rather let the Mu clan perishes than be disgraced like this." Mu Tao said in a stern tone.
Lin Mu narrowed his brows upon hearing this and tried to remember if he knew any Fei clan and Fei Teng.
’Isn’t one of the council members surnamed Fei?’ Lin Mu recalled that it was one of the old men that had sided with Shantung from the start.
"B-But counsel—" girl wanted to say more but was interrupted.
"Enough! This matter is final." Mu Tao declared.
"I fear soon we may not have the choice. I suspect the other council members have been planning something. There have been unusual activities on their end and what they are planning we do not know.
"Hmm... one of the key formations used for this vault is the bloodline trinity formation. This will be hard even for Jing Luo." Xukong replied.
"What is the Bloodline Trinity Formation senior?" Lin Mu questioned.
"One of the strongest key formations in the world. But its strength is varied depending on the bloodline that is entered into the formation. It is a formation you will encounter in nearly every world that has cultivators in them.
Resolving it is hard, and the solutions are sparse. You can still ask and see if Jing Luo can open it. If he can then we will be lucky if not, then we may need a more crude method." Xukong answered.
"I see. But first, we need to talk to them..." Lin Mu said as he looked up.
~Sigh~
’Let’s get to it.’ Lin Mu thought to himself and ascended directly to the hall where the three people were still conversing.
Mu Tao and Mu Niu suddenly felt a strong spirit sense scan over them and their eyes went wide.
"WHO’s THERE!" Mu Tao shouted and got into a defensive pose, taking out a spirit sword.
Mu Niu on the other hand, rushed to the teenage girl and pulled him to his back.
"Mu Bing, stay behind my back and get ready to run. If they managed to come here, then they are stronger than the enemies that came before." Mu Niu warned.
He then took out a small triangular pendant from his neck and handed it to Mu Bing.
"Take this... it will take you far from here." Mu Niu said with a heavy heart.
"Uncle... you..." But before Mu Bing could say more, she was stunned.
A Handsome long haired man dressed in black robes appeared from the ground.
